ChrisKels:
I was mocking u bkus, Senegal just scored. join u ke?

I would careless about Morocco bkus of their geographical location, buh Senegal(West Africa) ? Mbanu

ChrisKels:
Senegal won and the noise suddenly died down. In a bid to belittle Cameroun, and at the same time, defend the awful display Eagles have been serving us in this tourney so far, y'all were predicting a lose for Senegal just because Morroco was unfortunate. So why is everybody quiet now?

Truidstar, icon4s et al

ChrisKels:
Senegal is joining them

Jarus:
This is the Nations Cup of Underdogs

chrisooblog:
Icon was so right about this Moroccan side always flatter to deceive

ChrisKels:
Wake up bro, it is dawn already. Worry more about Cameroun, bkus, those two u want their down fall, so that u will say "I told u" they were under achievers , know how to take care of their responsibilities

Ighalo, Balogun tear Eagles’ camp apart



 July 4, 2019

 

There is palpable unrest in the camp of the Super Eagles ahead of their round of 16 clash with Cameroon after two keys players clashed with Manager Gernot Rohr.

Our correspondent learnt that striker Odion Ighalo and defender Leon Balogun clashed with Rohr after the coach openly criticised them for the loss to Madagascar on their last group game.

Sources in the squad confirmed that the two players had heated altercations with the coach at their Helnan Palestine Hotel camp when he used harsh words in castigating them for the loss.


“Ighalo felt terribly bad when he heard about what the coach told the media that the team didn’t have strikers who were good enough. It infuriated him even the more when the gaffer mentioned similar thing during team’s meeting.

“Balogun too clashed with the coach, insisting the manager should not have singled him out for blames because of the mistake he made.
“I don’t think these players will play a part in the competition anymore but some officials of the Nigeria Football Federation have come in to resolve the problem, ” the source explained.

The players are aware of the situation and are also supporting their colleagues against the handler who was recently warned by the NFF to talk less.

Why are Nigerians in the diaspora saying the green jersey always bring bad luck to eagles, and we should stop wearing it.

any explanation for these??

forgiveness:
What is the need of taken them to the AFCON if they can not be used?

darkelf:
We can have both with the right coach and players

OMANBALA1:
Good point my nigga. Cameroonians will neutralize the little threat Ighalo possess.

Honestly, I am pretty done with this AFCON as regards to Eagles. The team can barely play 5 clean passes. I will take a beautiful football to winning matches any day. I dont even want Clarence Seedorf to lose to a crappy Oyibo coach. More Black Europeans should coach Super Eagles.

Earthquake3:
Ezenwa did well in his last game

andrew444:
There is nothing to learn sir as its not below 1998

Have you seen me arguing with anyone about super eagles of 1994 or 1998 ? I have not even start arguing about the early 2000s that's I watched

You will hardly see me involve in anything that deals with the old eagles

OMANBALA1:
But I heard the commentator on the Mali vs Angola mentioned a 19yrs old and a 20yrs old on the team. And they were playing JOGA BONITO....
JOGA BONITO baba icons! Spreading passes like Barcelona but our eagles can't string 2 good passes with Mikel, Ighalo and Musa present....Let the youngsters play and learn from their mistake.

Nobody need to tell us this AFCON should be used as a building process for our youngsters.

andrew444:
Hope you see my language sha ?

My best super eagles striker I didn't mean the best ever

Na yakubu I watch and not yekini ,yes I know yekini is the best as the record is there ,but sorry sir I didn't know much about football during 1998 and that's the last time yekini put on the eagles jersey

TheSuperNerd:
Bla bla bla... I know that line and have used it in debates but it is not an ultimate.

That line does not hold water for every talent.

Club and National team are two different ball games but Iheanacho was dropped despite this NT records which stand impressive till date. Why wasn't his national team showings overall able to make him break into the squad naa?

The truth is this: Rohr is scared. Osimhen is ready. Just like Iheanacho was also ready back then. Iheanacho was a rookie but didn't take time at all to make impact in the Super Eagles. So all this talk of club and NT not being the same is actually binned when it comes to some cases. It doesn't hold in all cases at all.

SerVik:
Afcon team of the group stage. No Nigerian

TheSuperNerd:
Osimhen is not an experiment. He is proven in Belgium already and on his way to a better league. Infact he starting will carry a bigger element of surprise that will surely stun the camerounians than an Ighalo who the Lions know too well and will look to ruffle.

TheSuperNerd:
But Omeruo was still a rookie nonetheless. And he was in defence. Remember you admitted severally in times past that it is safer starting a youngster in attack than doing so in defence because defence is more about experience than just talent. You recall that Dad?

forgiveness:
Forget. I have seen that boy played. He is a beast.

TheSuperNerd:
Same way Icon4s of 2013 will ask a few questions due to Omeruo's youth ahead of a tie with Tournament Ultimate favs, CIV in that memorable quarter final tie....

Experience's ArchGuardian... I hail Dad... But other arch guardians from some countries and Belgium especially dey look you

Cameroon team is not that good.

forgiveness:
I hope Rohr will change his formation against Cameroun or stick with the starting 11 against Guinea Bissau.

I expect him to set up his team with these players in 3-5-3 formation

..................................... Akpeyi


............. Omeruo............. Ekong......... Balogun


........................... Ndidi.............. Etebo........


Simon........................... Alex..........................Aina


....................... Ighalo.................... Ahmed...........



In 4-2-3-1 formation, I expect to see this line up.


..................................... Akpeyi.......................


......Aina............. Omeruo......... Balogun........... Collins...


......................... Ndidi.............. Etebo............


Simon...................... Iwobi........................ Ahmed........


................................... Osimhen......................


I know Rohr will start Ighalo instead of Osimhen.

ChrisKels:
What about that guy that once played as a full back for PSG?

darkelf:
Afobear, I sight you ooo

I expected your trolling after we lost to Madagascar

But you guys never showed up.
